I love how cute this property is. My room had a gorgeous mural, and there were other murals around the property. The bathroom was nice with a stone stand-up shower. It was difficult to communicate at times regarding booking excursions, however we overcame the communication issues and they were able to book two excursions for me.

Great location, price point, location, safety and excellent staff with attentive and exemplary service. The room itself was basic (Stars 1-2), no TV/Radio. Areas of concern were the tiles in the bathroom, cracked grout, etc.
Just FYI. Don't forget to ask for a bed turnover or change if sheets. Not done or offered.
Front office staff are excellent and very friendly/courteous. Keep it up!!! Would come back here again for sure.

The driver Mr Knowledge is a very helpful, honest, kind , intelligent, knowledgeable and very professional and understanding gentleman. He is not only a driver but he also can do amazing touristic tours and can book you activities at prices cheaper than other places. Also I feel very safe with his company. Kitchen staff are very friendly and understanding especially GUGU. The gardener helped to fix the problem with the sink in my bathroom thank you very much. The artist Zian is also a great painter and I think he will have a great future. Finally the receptionist Elton does help a lot when he is in mood and not very busy. Thanks and kindest regards Farid from New Zealand

A pleasant stay at Livingstone Lodge.
I very friendly check in before being shown to our room. The room was very clean and a very good size with all that could be expected except no TV. Tea and coffee available 24/7 at a central area and a pleasant breakfast is served from a choice of 3 options. A very good budget hotel.

I had made a family accommodation booking for a few nights at the Livingstone Lodge as it was a brilliant stay. The area was beautiful and quiet. The staff were very helpful and polite. The receptionist Elton was great as he had booked most of our activities. I would recommend friends and family to book there.
